[考研类试卷]MBA（英语）阅读理解练习试卷9一、Section III Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.0 No reference book, perhaps no book of any kind except the Bible, is so widely used as "the dictionary". Even houses that have few books or none at all possess at least one dictionary; most business offices have dictionaries, and most typists keep a copy on their desks; at one time or another most girls and boys are required by their teachers to obtain and use a dictionary.Admittedly, the dictionary is often used merely to determine the correct spelling of words, or to find out the accepted pronunciation, and such a use is perhaps not the most important from an intellectual point of view. Dictionaries may, however, have social importance, for it is often a matter of some concern to the person using the dictionary for such purpose that he should not suggest to others, by misspelling a word in a letter, or mispronouncing it in conversation, that he is not "well-bred", and has not been well educated.Yet, despite this familiarity with the dictionary, the average person is likely to have many wrong ideas about it, and little idea of how to use it profitably, or interpret it rightly. For example, it is often believed that the mere presence of a word in a dictionary is evidence that it is acceptable in good writing. Though most dictionaries have a system of marking words as obsolete, or in use only as slang, many people, more especially if their use of a particular word has been challenged, are likely to conclude, if they find it in a dictionary, that it is accepted as being used by writers of established reputation. This would certainly have been true of dictionaries a hundred years or so ago. For a long time after they were first firmly established in the eighteenth century, their aim was to include only what was used by the best writers, and all else was suppressed, and the compiler frequently claimed that this dictionary contained "low" words. Apparently this aspect of the dictionary achieved such importance in the mind of the average person that most people today are unaware of the great change that has taken place in the compilation of present-day dictionaries.Similarly, the ordinary man invariably supposes that one dictionary is as good and authoritative as another, and, moreover, believes that "the dictionary" has absolute authority, and quotes it to clinch arguments. Although this is an advantage, in that the dictionary presents a definition the basic meaning of which can't be altered by the speaker, yet it could be accepted only if all dictionaries agreed on the particular point in question. But ultimately the authority of the dictionary rests only on the authority of the man who compiled it, and, however careful he may be, a dictionary-maker is fallible: reputabledictionaries may disagree in their judgments, and indeed different sections of the same dictionary may differ.1 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?（A）The Bible is the most widely used reference book.（B）The dictionary is the most widely used reference book.（C）The dictionary is actually the more widely used book than the Bible.（D）The Bible is used as widely as the dictionary.2 By "the great change" in present-day dictionaries, the author implies that（A）dictionaries seem to have many wrong ideas in them for the average persons. （B）many average persons do not know how to use the dictionaries profitably.（C）words appearing in a present-day dictionary may not be acceptable in good writing. （D）dictionaries have different systems of marking the words they contain.3 Many people do not realize that（A）it is not easy for dictionary-makers to compile a dictionary.（B）dictionaries have achieved such importance today.（C）a dictionary today may contain "low" words.（D）words in a dictionary may be out of date or used only as slang.4 When can one quote from dictionaries to settle his arguments decisively?（A）When he looks up in a dictionary that has absolute authority.（B）When the basic meaning of a word found in one dictionary is confirmed in other ones.（C）When a dictionary presents a definition that the basic meaning of which cannot be altered by the speakers.（D）When the compiler of the dictionary is a reputable person.5 According to the author, differences between dictionaries or in a dictionary usually result from（A）varied definitions of a word.（B）the different purposes of making them.（C）misinterpretations of users.（D）different judgment of the compilers.5 Researchers are increasingly interested in manipulating the environment early in children's lives when they are perceived to be at risk for impoverished intelligence. In a program conducted in North Carolina by Craig Ramey and his associates, pregnant women with IQs averaging 80 were recruited for a study. After their babies wereborn,half of the infants were cared for during the day at an educational daycare center and half were reared at home by their mothers; both groups of children were given medical care and dietary supplements, and their families were given social services if they requested them.At the age of 3, the children who attended the educational daycare center had significantly higher IQs than did the home-reared children. This difference was likely due to the decline in the IQs of the home-reared children during the period from 12 to 18 months of age. By the time the children were 5 years old, 39 percent of the home-reared children had IQs below 85 but only 11 percent of the educational day-care children had IQs this low. In the most recent evaluation of this project, positive effects of educational daycare on the intellectual development and academic achievement of the children were evident at age 12.Some parents, such as those in Ramey's study, have difficulty providing an adequate environment for the intellectual needs of their infants. Once these difficulties are a reoccurring part of the family system, changing efforts probably will be more difficultand costly; early intervention in the family system is directed at changing parental adaptive and responsive functioning so that permanent negative effects are minimized. In another investigation, the Infant Health and Development Program, early intervention with low-birth weight children revealed that both home visitation and an educational child curriculum improved the children's IQ, decreased behavior problems, and improved the home environment. The intervention was more effective with mothers with low educational attainment than those with high educational attainment, more effective for African American than White children, and effective for most at-risk children.Intervention programs have the most positive effects on children's well-being when they (a) begin as early as possible, (b) provide services to parents as well as to the child, (c) have a low child-teacher ratio, (d) have high parental involvement, and (e) have frequent contacts. In one review of family intervention studies, intervention was more effective when there were eleven or more contacts between the intervener and the family; while eleven sessions is a somewhat arbitrary number, it does indicate that a certain duration of contact is necessary for intervention success.6 From the first sentence of the first paragraph, we learn that researchers（A）have increased the risks to child growth by manipulating the natural environment.（B）are increasingly aware of the effects of environmental factors on intelligence development.（C）are increasingly interested in manipulating the environment without being aware of the risks involved to children.（D）are increasingly interested in figuring out how intelligence is developed in early childhood.7 What does the word "impoverished" (Para. 1) mean?（A）Improved.（B）Enhanced.（C）Poor.（D）Missing.8 It is implied in the passage that the babies at the daycare center（A）were given more medical care than those at home.（B）were born of mothers with higher IQs.（C）were reared under a more favorable environment.（D）were more closely attended to by their mothers.9 The finding that children reared at home had low IQs at age 12 indicates（A）parents fail to provide an adequate environment for their intelligence growth. （B）educational daycare centers are the best place for children to grow up in.（C）intellectual development and academic achievement of children are closely related. （D）the age of 12 is a critical point in time for intellectual development in children. 10 It is clear from the passage that the author advocates（A）providing enough daycare centers for children of working mothers.（B）early intervention in children's intellectual growth.（C）the natural development of children's intelligence.（D）depriving poor mothers of the opportunities to raise their children at home.。

MBA（英语）阅读理解练习试卷20(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.Learning disabilities are very common. They affect perhaps 10 percent of all children. Four times as many boys as girls have learning disabilities. Since about 1970, new research has helped brain scientists understand these problems better. Scientists now know there are many different kinds of learning disabilities and that they are caused by many different things. There is no longer any question that all learning disabilities result from differences in the way the brain is organized. You cannot look at a child and tell if he or she has a learning disability. There is no outward sign of the disorder. So some researchers began looking at the brain itself to learn what might be wrong. In one study, researchers examined the brain of a learning-disabled person who had died in an accident. They found two unusual things. One involved cells in the left side of the brain, which control language. These cells normally are white. In the learning-disabled person, however, these cells were gray. The researchers also found that many of the nerve cells were not in a line the way they should have been. The nerve cells were mixed together. The study was carried out under the guidance of Norman Geschwind, an early expert on learning disabilities. Doctor Geschwind proposed that learning disabilities resulted mainly from problems in the left side of the brain. He believed this side of the brain failed to develop normally. Probably, he said, nerve cells there did not connect as they should. So the brain was like an electrical device in which the wires were crossed. Other researches did not examine brain tissue. Instead, they measured the brain’s electrical activity and made a man of the electrical signals. Frank Duffy experimented with this techniques at Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Boston. Doctor Duffy said his research is evidence that reading disabilities involve damage to wide area of the brain, not just the left side.1．Scientist found that the brain cells of a learning-disabled person differ from those of a normal person in ______.A．structure and functionB．color and functionC．size and arrangementD．color and arrangement正确答案：D解析：在文章的第四段，作者说，研究人员发现学习能力缺陷者的脑细胞的颜色为灰色，而正常人则为白色，并且神经细胞排列方式不同。

MBA（英语）阅读理解练习试卷23(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and respectable occupations. Personal consultants give better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were perceived as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Increasingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than was that of attractive overnight successes. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine (女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine” qualities required. This is true even in politics. “When the one clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,”says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduates to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.1．The word “liability (Line 4, Para. 1)” most probably means “______.”A．misfortuneB．instabilityC．disadvantageD．burden正确答案：C解析：此题为释义题。

考研英语（阅读）-试卷9(总分：60.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、 Reading Comprehension(总题数：6，分数：60.00)1.Section II Reading Comprehension（分数：10.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________解析：2.Part ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.（分数：10.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________解析：Organizations and societies rely on fines and rewards to harness people"s self-interest in the service of the common good. The threat of a ticket keeps drivers in line, and the promise of a bonus inspires high performance. But incentives can also backfire, diminishing the very behavior they"re meant to encourage. A generation ago, Richard Titmuss claimed that paying people to donate blood reduced the supply. Economists were skeptical, citing a lack of empirical evidence. But since then, new data and models have prompted a sea change in how economists think about incentives—showing, among other things, that Titmuss was right often enough that businesses should take note. Experimental economists have found that offering to pay women for donating blood decreases the number willing to donate by almost half, and that letting them contribute the payment to charity reverses the effect. Dozens of recent experiments show that rewarding self-interest with economic incentives can backfire when they undermine what Adam Smith called "the moral sentiments." The psychology here has escaped blackboard economists, but it will be no surprise to people in business: When we take a job or buy a car, we are not only trying to get stuff—we are also trying to be a certain kind of person. People desire to be esteemed by others and to be seen as ethical and dignified. And they don"t want to be taken for suckers. Rewarding blood donations may backfire because it suggests that the donor is less interested in being altruistic than in making a dollar. Incentives also run into trouble when they signal that the employer mistrusts the employee or is greedy. Close supervision of workers coupled with pay for performance is textbook economics—and a prescription for sullen employees. Perhaps most important, incentives affect what our actions signal, whether we"re being self-interested or civic-minded, manipulated or trusted, and they can imply—sometimes wrongly—what motivates us. Fines or public rebukes that appeal to our moral sentiments by signaling social disapproval(think of littering)can be highly effective. But incentives go wrong when they offend or diminish our ethical sensibilities. This does not mean it"s impossible to appeal to self-interested and ethical motivations at the same time—just that efforts to do so often fail. Ideally, policies support socially valued ends not only by harnessing self-interest but also by encouraging public-spiritedness. The small tax on plastic grocery bags enacted in Ireland in 2002 that resulted in their virtual elimination appears to have had such an effect. It punished offenders monetarily while conveying a moral message. Carrying a plastic bag joined wearing a fur coat in the gallery of anti-social anachronisms.（分数：10.00）(1).From the first two paragraphs, we know that（分数：2.00）anizational and social progresses depend on economic incentives.B.economic incentives actually discourage people to behave well.C.economists didn"t agree with Titmuss for the lack of empirical evidence √D.economists now prompt businesses to note down Titmuss"s claim.解析：解析：事实细节题。

MBA（英语）阅读理解练习试卷24(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.Selling is the direct confrontation between the company and its customer. Management training and material tend to be devoted to “closing the sale”, “effective presentation skills”, “use of visual aids” , and so on. The one aspect of selling which is often neglected is “prospecting(寻找可能的顾客)”. In advance of any direct selling activity or, indeed, any promotion, it is important to take time and allocate resources to prospecting for clients. Prospecting identifies buyers and makes the best use of time available for selling. It is the quality, not the quantity, of prospects that matters. Market segmentation(条块化) will show the market segment most likely to yield buyers, e.g. manufacturing companies with a turnover in excess of ￡5 million within 50 miles of your offices. Building up a prime prospect file is the most valuable activity a salesperson can do. Once achieved, canvassing(游说顾客) is necessary only to “top up”the prospect reservoir when the level drops; that is, a prospect is converted to a customer, ceases to be a prime prospect and is replaced by another prime prospect. The prospect file will help only if it is kept up to date and used systematically. A follow-up or bring-forward system will force you to plan your time effectively. The selection of prospects can be done at the desk or by telephone. It involves a relatively low cost resource, compared with a field salesperson. The use of computers enables companies to develop a database of prospects which can be used interactively, depending on sales objectives or changes in strategy. By using a computerized marketing database, you can analyze important factors such as source of prospect/lead, date last called, change in staff. A new sales in a market sector can open the door to acquiring a number of new prospects in this sector.1．According to the author, in selling people do not attach importance to ______.A．management training and materialB．effective presentation skillsC．search for possible customersD．successful conclusion of deals正确答案：C解析：见第一段最后一句“The one aspect of selling which is often neglected is ‘prospecting’”。
MBA英语历年真题阅读理解及参考答案详解说课讲解
MBA英语历年真题阅读理解及参考答案详解Ruth Simmons joined Goldman Sachs's board as an outside director in January 2000; a year later she became president of Brown University. For the rest of the decade she apparently managed both roles without attracting much criticism. But by the end of 2009 Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on GoLd man's compensation committee; how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked? By February the next year Ms. Simmons had left the board. Theposition was taking up too much time, she said.Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpfuL, yet less biased, advisers on a firm's board.Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere, they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive's proposals. If the sky, and the share price, is falling, outside directors should be able to give advice based on having weathered their own crises.The researchers from Ohio University used a database that covered more than 10,000 firms and more than 64,000 different directors between 1989 and 2004. Then they simply checked which directors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most LikeLy reason for departing a board was age, so the researchers concentrated on those "surprise" departure, the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earnings increases by nearly 20%. The likelihood of being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases, and the stock is likely to perform worse. The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance at the firm is suggestive, it does not mean that such directors arealways jumping off a sinking ship. Often they "trade up," leaving riskier, smaller firms for larger and more stable firms.But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easiertime of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks, even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred. Firms who want to keep their outside directors through tough time may have to create incentives. Otherwise outside directors will follow the example of Ms. Simmons, once again very popular on campus.21. According to Paragraph 1, Ms. Simmons was criticizedfor_______.A. gaining excessive profitsB. failing to fulfill her dutyC. refusing to make compromisesD. leaving the board in tough times22. We learn from Paragraph 2 that outside directors are supposed to be _______.A. generous investorsC. share price forecastersB. unbiased executivesD. independent advisers23. According to the researchers from Ohio University, after an outside director's surprise departure, the firm i8 likely to _______.A. become more stableB. report increased earningsC. do less well in the stock marketD. perform worse in lawsuits.24.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that outside directors_______.A. may stay for the attractive offers from the firmB. have often had the records of wrong doings in the firmC. are accustomed to stress-free work in the firmD. will decline incentives from the firm25. The author's attitude toward the role of outside directors is _______.A. permissiveB. positiveC. scornfulD. critical参考答案21.答案 B.本题信息点是Ms. simmons was criticized (Simmons 受到批评)，该信息出现在第一段第三句话…simmons was under fire. . 中，其中under fire 意为“受到攻击”，即“受到批评”之意。

MBA（英语）阅读理解练习试卷2(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.I’m usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950’s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago. Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation--brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things--and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place. Given that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope. At the top of the list is nurturing a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress. To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep. Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news. Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale. Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable, but it doesn’t have to ruin your life.1．The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people’s state of mind areA．surprising.B．confusing.C．illogical.D．questionable.正确答案：D解析：细节题。

In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation worldwide has decreased significantly.A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic (北极的) snow were declining. In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasolines and thus enabled scientists to differentiate the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found ingasoline from the United States. In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that levels in soil in the Northeastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline. Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period. The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990. The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected. Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.1．The study published in the journal Nature indicates thatA．the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired results.B．lead deposits in arctic snow on the increase.C．lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expected.D．the U.S. is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snow.正确答案：D解析：细节题。

2017年MBA考试英语阅读试题及答案六No antibiotics have been proved to be 100% effective in treating SARS so far. The only effective way to get rid of it is by ourselves. It likes a prolonged battle between the viruses and our immune response. In fact, viruses couldn't kill all the immune cells in a health individual. The stronger the immune function you have, the less the viral injury you get. Therefore, the degree of sickness after infection and the rate of recovery mainly depend on how strong your immune function is.You cannot avoid the infection unless you avoid from those infected individuals/area. But, you can try your best to boost up your immune function by several regimes. Make sure you are "extremely healthy" at least during this critical period. Stronger immune function could keep the viral damage minimal even you were so unluckily being infected. Also, stronger immune function delays the onset of any detrimental effects from the viral infection. Scientists are now working on tracking the treatment and so make sure you are still surviving until an effective treatment occurs. 1771.

These measures are contained in a communiquéissued on Tuesday at the end of a plenary session of the Chinese Communist Party's Central Committee.One way of doing so is to perfect a market economy of public, collective and private ownership, with public ownership still as the main pillar.

Twenty years ago, U.S., European and Japanese companies started moving into China to supply the local market with household goods. Now those same companies are getting whipped by Chinese competitors. Over the past six years, the market share of foreign TV makers in China has dropped from 70 percent to less than 20 percent. Matsushita opened the first microwave-oven plant in China in 1995. Two years later the Chinese company Galanz started making microwaves and selling them for half Matsushita's price.Chinese companies now make more than 43 million TVs yearly. Konka, one of China's largest TV makers, sells its branded TVs in the United States, and has set up factories in Mexico to service the American market; While TCL, another major TV maker, exported 11 million units from its Chinese factories last year. It has more Southeast Asian factories than any other Chinese company. (164 words)1. This passage is primarily concerned withA. the world's third largest producer of electronicsB.

Who hasn't heard of the Middle Kingdom's startling economic growth (8 percent annually), its enormous consumer market (1.2 billion people), the investment ardor of foreign suitors ($40 billion in foreign direct investment last year alone)? China is an economic marvel. According to Nicholas Lardy of the Brookings Institution, a Washington D.C.-based think tank, "No country has expanded its foreign trade as fast as China over the last 20 years. Japan doubledits foreign trade over a 20-year period; China's foreign trade as quintupled. They've become the main producer of labor-intensive manufacturing goods in the world."But there's been something missing from the dazzling China growth story—namely, the Chinese multinational. No major Chinese companies have yet established themselves, or their brands, on the global stage. But as Haier shows, that is starting to change. After 100 years of poverty and chaos, of being overshadowed by foreign countries and multinationals, Chinese industrial companies are starting to make a mark on the world. (170 words)1.
